The Naknek River is the Number One Rainbow Trout River in Alaska

The clear water Naknek River, which begins its 35 mile journey to Bristol Bay from within the massive Katmai National Park and Preserve, hosts all five species of Pacific Salmon along with giant rainbow trout. Sitting downstream from Naknek Lake, at the juncture of King Salmon Creek is the Bear Trail Lodge. The location allows you to fish for salmon on their home river or fly out on a daily basis (included). These fish are just 20 miles from the ocean and dime bright. You can fish the best spots of the upper part of the river where large rainbows are feeding behind spawning salmon.

Trip Specifics

Guests fly commercially to Anchorage where you will connect to the town of King Salmon (flight included). You will then be driven a short distance to the lodge on the famous Naknek River. The Naknek is the only connection between Bristol Bay and the massive Naknek Lake drainage, thus, each year millions of salmon that are returning to the drainage to spawn must swim right past the lodge. With all of these salmon, the native rainbow trout and arctic grayling grow to unbelievable size. Their program combines fly out fishing to different rivers throughout the area to add diversity.
